The Marijuana Seeds Industry is a Seedy Business

Germinating marijuana seeds instead of relying only on clones is a must for every serious marijuana grower.

But how do you know you’re getting good marijuana seeds?

We recently talked to a major marijuana seed producer and strain creator who’s based in the United States.

He didn’t want to be identified, and when you see what he says about the marijuana seeds industry, you’ll see why…

“The worst thing is, the majority of marijuana seeds you buy aren’t the strain the advertisement claims,” he said. “Many producers have weak seeds and throw the most popular cannabis strain names on them.”

The seed producer said quality control is virtually non-existent for many seed producers and sellers.

“If the cannabis seeds germinate, that’s all they care about. They’re not doing continual testing to see how the seeds grow out, and what the bud quality is. Even when the seeds produce shitty plants and buds, they keep selling them,” he said.

The seed producer told us that he monitors his own seeds and strains constantly, and puts customer satisfaction over profits in all cases.

“We had two strains everyone was raving about. We could sell as many of those seeds as we produced. But I didn’t like the quality. Too many phenotypes. Not enough reliability. I threw away 5,500 seeds and deleted those strains from my product list,” he explained.

Legitimate marijuana seeds producers and strain creators are especially angry about people who take their trademark and/or best-selling strains, germinate them, make “knockoff” seeds, then sell the knockoffs with names very similar to what the original strain name is.

Some of the anger is the same as it would be when anyone creates a brand name product and sees it ripped off by someone else.

“A marijuana strain producer might spend years working to get a strain just right,” our source told us. “So when someone takes that strain, grows out a male, creates new seeds and sells them with a different strain name, we consider it theft of intellectual property.”

It’s more than just a businessperson getting ripped off, the marijuana seeds producer told us.

It’s that the knockoff cannabis seeds don’t grow out true to the original cannabis strain.

Other problems are that you might get hermies. Or you get feminized marijuana seeds that produce males.

Or non-feminized seeds that produce a high ratio of males, split seeds, and non-viable seeds.

One problem marijuana seeds and strains producers can’t control is that marijuana seeds re-sellers (retailers) are often corrupt.

They might not send you the marijuana seeds you ordered. They might ship you stale marijuana seeds, or no seeds at all.

Their refund and replacement policies are sometimes dishonest and self-serving.
